Pros

Work with quality product, and interacting with professional clients were the best parts of this enterprise.

Cons

The major issue is the disconnect between your performance - due to decentralization of managment (no one observes your performance directly), and their decision making. i also had no idea that they routine add and then eliminate sales people, without regard to performance. Also, senior management makes decisions about people based on an inner circle who have been there for many years, hearsay, and opinion - not fact. When I left, I had so many incredulous letters of testimonial from my customers that, it was obvious someone screwed up when they "eliminated" my position. You are lured by the opportunity, the potential, the promises, and then you are shocked by the calous disregard for the impact on their people that they demonstrate. This will happen to you, this is not a note from a poor performer. I am now a director.

Pros

Lots of freedom and independence, not much micro management, can come up with cool ideas.

Cons

Hard to advance, people stay in their spots for a long time, remote employees excluded from advancement in general. Benefits are bad, health care terrible. 401k match is weak
